Hey Barry
I was originally going to use the Stuart Warner that WW recommends then I learned
about the Stratomaster E1 EMS and decided to go digital (would end up being
cheaper than six steam engine guages) BUT it doesn't appear that there is any
easy way to hook up the tach input (without going directly to the coils which
WW says is a no no). They offer a powered tooth counting sensor but it won't
work with the WW starter wheel I have and the tooth counter that works with the
Stuart Warner tach is not powered (only 2 lead) and will not work with the EMS.
So unless someone at Corvair College 13 has some good ideas I will probably just
go with the proven Stewart Warner solution.

Subject: | Eyebrow baffle question |
Rick=3B
I'm late commenting on the spark plug access for your eyebrow baffles but I
think
you were on the right track as far as punching holes in the baffles to give
you access
to the plugs. However=2C instead of rubber plugs=2C consider using some of
those snap-in
hole covers that are used for knockouts in electrical boxes or the ones use
d to cap
unused punchings in stainless steel sinks. In your plumbing section at the
hardware
store. You could reach inside your baffle and pop out the cap=2C then inse
rt your
spark plug socket and off you go.
Just a thought.

Thanks for the idea Oscar. I was looking through the online McMaster Carr
catalog for a rubber bushing kind of things without a hole in the middle and
struck out but I did notice just the kind of thing you mentioned, round
metal caps of different sizes with springy legs like you put in an empty
sink hole. They even come chrome plated. Now that may look cool up against
my flat black eyebrows.

Hi John,
thanks for the compliments. I bought my crankshaft from William. This was
just after he started recommending nitriding them and he already had my core so
he took care of all that. I don't know if he still offers that option or not
and I cannot remember exactly what I paid for the whole set up.

Thanks for sharing your photo with us Randy and just curious if you
might be able to make the gathering of Pietenpols
at OSH for the 80th Anniversary after Bhead ? The more the more
better-er.
Doc will be publishing some info about the gathering in the next paper
newsletter. Bill Rewey sent me and several others
letters outlining the plans that Doc and Bill have tentatively formed
with EAA and as they were in 1998, EAA is all about it.

PS..of course like everyone else we don't get free avgas, camping, or

Hi Mike,
Yes I would love to make the trip on up to Oshkosh if they are planning
a group flight up there .I talked to Doc last year and he said that there
might be something in the works but I had not heard any body say any thing
definite . so count me in if its a go.
and thanks Walt.

Here's the contact info for the BPA (and thusly Doc) from the latest
newsletter:
Brodhead Pietenpol Association
P.O. Box 3501
Oshkosh, WI 54901
Email: bpan@tds.net
Fax: 920-886-3575
Web: www.pietenpols.org
Of general interest to all, there is also a notice in the issue that due to
some organizational changes with the Independent-Register in Brodhead, ALL
correspondence should be addressed to BPA at the Oshkosh address; this
includes any payments.

I'm thinking this won't actually turn out to be an ultralight?

Subject: | Re: Piet Ultralight? |
Well, it may have started life as an ultralight....
http://www.ragwing.net/fleet/RW01Ultra-Piet.html
It is based on an "Ultralight replica of the Pietenpol Air Camper". It's a
one-seater, so you would think it would technically be an ultralight replica
of a Sky Scout, but I digress.
The site of the original designer says that it can use a 1/2 VW. The ebay
listing for this particular project based on that design states that it has
been scaled up 10%. In addition (and I'm no expert on VW's) it appears to
have a full VW engine. I would imagine those two factors would make it a
little more difficult to complete the project and have it come in at or
below 254 lbs, if you were to attempt to register it as an ultralight.
